Carl B. Benyo, 82, passed away peacefully at home on January 18, 2018
with his wife by his side. He was in the place he loved to watch the
sunrise and the ducks swimming in the lake. He was born on August 31,
1935 in Wheeling, West Virginia to the late Steve and Sophia Wolan
Benyo.

Carl proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps
during the Korean War. After the armed forces, he spent his career
working for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of Los Angeles,
California. Carl and his wife retired to Fort Mohave, Arizona.

His passion was flying, starting with helicopters in the military and
piloting airplanes later in life. He was also an avid golfer and
automobile enthusiast.

Carl is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Margo Sexton;
daughter, Terri Lynn Acton (Steve) of Texas; son, Steven Benyo of
California; grandchildren, Heather Benyo of California, and Malyssa
and Jason Acton of Texas; sisters, Ginger Burek and B.J. Benyo;
brother Steve R. Benyo (Linda) all of West Virginia; several nieces,
nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews; step-children, Jeffrey
Sexton (Kimberly), Kapiolani Sexton-Strait, and Robert Sexton; step-
grandchildren, Alicia, Sydney, Kassidi, Emma, Kailee, and Luke; and
his dearest friends, John and Norma Jean Moore. Carl will be greatly
missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is preceded in death by his parents; sister Marcella J. and her
husband Dick Wyatt.

It is his wish to be remembered in prayer. Love today with all your
heart, as you cannot undo yesterday, and tomorrow is uncertain.

Fly with the Angels Carl!
